QUESTIONS TO WHICH EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER

There's another cute little book of weird questions nobody ever thinks to ask for some very good reasons--I don't remember the author's name, but the title is also one of those questions: "Why Do Men Have Nipples?" I leafed through a copy at my favorite local bookstore today. The answer given was the usual thing about how the human embryo is basically female through most of its early development, etc. etc. Which is true as far as it goes, but geeze, doesn't anybody read the Iliad any more? If the author had bothered to do his classical homework, he'd know exactly what use male nipples are--they're ideal targets for spear-throwing. Not sure how you'd put a Darwinian spin on this, but it's probably worth trying.
